Abstract
A body mount comprises a first support member adapted to engage a body of a vehicle and a second support member adapted to engage a frame of the vehicle. The second support member includes a tubular portion disposed radially inward of a second support surface. A first elastomeric spring interconnects an inner tube and the second support member. The first elastomeric spring is positioned within the tubular portion. A hydraulic damping system is disposed on a side of the second support surface opposite the first support member and includes a housing coupled to the second support member. Second, third and fourth elastomeric springs are positioned within the housing. The second elastomeric spring and the third elastomeric spring are spaced apart by a first track. The third elastomeric spring and the fourth elastomeric spring are spaced apart by a second track.
